Saturn is an evening star, in the sense of rising before 

 midnight, during the greater part of February. On the 

 1st he rises at Oh. 34m. a.m., with a southern declination 

 of 11"^ 32', and an apparent equatorial diameter of 8^" (the 

 major axis of the ring-system being 38^" in diameter, 

 and the minor 12^"). On the lOth he rises at llh. 55m. 

 P.M., with a southern declination of 11" 32', and an 

 apparent equatorial diameter of 8|" (the major axis of the 

 ring-system being 39^" in diameter, and the minor 12^"). 

 On the 28th he rises at lOh. 48m. p.m., with a southern 

 decUnation of 11' 25', and an apparent equatorial diameter 

 of 9" (the major axis of the ring-system being 40|" in 

 diameter, and the minor 12|"). Titan is at his greatest 

 eastern elongation at l-4h. a.m. on the 11th, and 0'5h. 

 a.m. on the 27th. Saturn is nearly stationary in Virgo 

 during February, about 2^' north-east of \ Virginis, 



Uranus does not rise before midnight on the last day of 

 the month. 



Neptune is an evening star, and is still favourably 

 situated for observation. He rises on the 1st at noon, 

 with a northern declination of 20' 54', and an apparent 

 diameter of 2-6". On the 28th he sets at 2h. 18m. a.m., 

 with a northern declination of 20° 55'. He is almost 

 stationary during the month to the south-west of t Tauri. 

 A map of the small stars near his path will be found in the 

 English Mfcha7iic for September 7th, 1894. 



February is not a very favourable month for shooting stars. 



The Moon enters her first quarter at Oh. 16m. a.m. on the 

 8rd ; is full at 5h. 23m. p.m. on the 9th ; enters her last 

 quarter at Ih. 9m. p.m. on the Kith ; and is new at 

 4h. 44m. P.M. on the 24th. She is in perigee at Ih. p.m. 

 on the 9th (distance from the earth, 221,630 miles), and is 

 in apogee at 7h. p.m. on the 22nd (distance from the earth, 

 252,580 miles).

E. W. Bi-dok. — ^No. 2 was a two-mover. 



./. T. Blnkemare. — The Queen mates at KBsq. 



./. >S^ L. Kirivan. — Your problem can be solved in one 

 move by placing the Black Rook at QKt7 ; or in two moves 

 by placing it on any square in the fifth row, followed by 

 1. B to Kt2ch. 



N. Alliston. — We fear that your three-mover has a 

 second solution, commencing with 1. Kt to Kt5, and a 

 third by 1. Kt to B2^
